Mazzarri ban rescinded

Napoli head coach Walter Mazzarri has seen a touchline ban for his conduct during the club's 4-2 Supercoppa defeat overturned.

The 50-year-old was given a one-match ban after being sent to the stands during Juventus' extra-time victory in Beijing for remonstrating with officials.

The decision means Mazzarri will be on the sidelines for the club's first Serie A clash of the season against Palermo on Sunday, although three of his players failed in attempts to have their own bans rescinded.

"The Federal Court of Justice has partially amended the punishment of Napoli manager Walter Mazzarri, commuting a one-match ban for his actions in the Supercoppa to a fine of 20,000 euros", the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) said their website.

"Appeals against the two-game bans for Goran Pandev and Andrea Dossena have been rejected, and the appeal by Juan Camilo Zuniga against his one-match ban has been ruled inadmissible."
